SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Qu»#n of Holland Has Agreed to Reo
ognize Vatican Titles.
Among: the lucrative sources of rev
enue of the pope before the separa-
tion of church and state In France was
the toll or tax on titles of nobility
and decorations. Since the ruptura
the French government no longer rec-
ognises the ennobling titles and dec-
orations of the holy father. To have
the right to wear tho Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count. It was necessary
to obtain a confirmation of title. This
gave much perplexity to the candi-
dates.
The question has Just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
The result has been an amusing pil-
grimage to The Hague—and also in
an Increase In the price of these pon-
tifical favors.
In tho last few weeks the French
Knights of the Golden Spur, of the
Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, of Gregory
the Creat, of Pius IX. have greatly In-
creased.
BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
WARNING FOR THE HA8TY.
Rash Covered Face and Feet—Would
Cry Until Tired Out—Speedy
Cure by Cutlcura.
"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face
and feet Her feet seemed to irritate
her most, especially nights. They
would cause her to be broken In her
rest, and sometimes she would cry
until she was tired out. I had always
used Cutlcura Soap myself, and had
heard of so many cures by the Cutl-
cura Remedies that I thought I would
give them a trial. The improvement
was noticeable In a few hours, and
before I had used one box of the Cu-
tlcura Ointment her feet were well
and have never troubled her since. I
also used It to remove what is known
as "cradle cap" from her head, and
it worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at .the
same time. Now 1 keep Cutlcura
Ointment on hand in case of any
little rash or insect bites, as it takes
out tho inflammation at once. Per-
haps this may be the means of help-
ing other suffering babies. Mrs. Iiat-
tle Currier, Thoinaston, Me., June 9,
1906."
THE USEFUL GASOLINE CAN.
Plays
Important Part in Building
Where Wood Is Scarce.
in the sparsely settled districts of
tho arid southwest, where gasoline is
the mainstay as fuel in cooking, and
where wood is scarce and dear, the
empty five-gallon can in which the
liquid Is sold has come to have a con-
siderable vogue as a building material,
The sides cut out with a can opener
make capital plates either for a tin
roof or far weather boarding for the
side of a house. Three or four can3
with tops and bottoms cut out and set
on6 on top of another make a chim-
ney.
Filled through the nozzle with sand
or dirt, the cans become effective sub-
stitutes for blocks of stone accurately
squared, and substantial walls are not
infrequently built of them. On a
pigeon ranch visited by the writer, the
dovecotes consisted of tier upon tier
of gasoline cans laid on their sides,
the top of each being cut out three-
fourths around and bent horizontally
forward to serve as a front porch, on
which the pigeons alighted In their
flights to ,and from home.
With the top cut out the can also
does service as a pot for large plants;
while, furnished with a wooden cross
piece as a handle, It is a first-class
water bucket, as the gasoline, unlike
petroleum, leaves no greasy trace be-
hind on the tin.—Exchange.
Rndyard Kipling, who dislikes the
winter climate in England, will here-
after blot out the chilly months from
his calendar by a visit to South Af-
rica, where he has a beautiful bouse
near Capo Town, given him by Cecil
Rhodes.
Prickly thistles have their uses
without doubt, but that doesn't justi-
fy you in becoming one.
Be on the Lookout for Ways to Help
Others—But Be Careful.
"That was a beautiful thought the
minister gave us about being on the
lookout for little unobtrusive ways we
can help others, wasn't it?" said Miss
Spears fervently, to Mrs. Walley, as
the two women walked slowly home
from church together.
"Um-m, yes, It's a beautiful thought,"
said Mrs. Walley, in a guarded man-
ner, "but the last time parson
preached that sermon—'twas five
years ago, just before you came here
—it made considerable trouble In my
family.
"Yes," continued Mrs. Walley, with
an unseeing gaze on the changing
foliage of the village trees, "Hiram
saw a letter directed to his aunt Le-
titla lying on the sitting room table,
and he thought he wouldn't wait for
me to ask him to post it, same as I
always had to do two or three times
before he remembered.
"That sermon was right fresh in his
mind, and he picked up that letter,
sealed it and posted It, all without
saying a word to nie until next day.
Then he spoke of it real modest and
pleased with himself.
" 'I'm going to try to live up nearer
to that sermon than I've been doing,
Mandy," he said to me, 'and make
things easier for you; lift some o* the
little burdens o' life off'n your shoul-
ders.'
" 'Well, Hiram,' I said, as soon as I
could speak without taking his head
right off, for you know I'm high-tem-
pered, excepting for what grace I've
got, 'I know you meant well—but that
wasn't a letter to your Aunt Letitia
you've sent off.
" 'That envelope had her old ad-
dress on—of course you didn't notice
that. She'll get it, but it'll make her
mad as a hornet when she sees it and
thinks I've been careless and forgot-
ten the new place, and inside were
three elegant crochet patterns I was
calculating to take over to the minis-
ter's wife to-morrow. I put 'em In
that old envelope for safe keeping—
they've been there more'n stx months.
I was Intending to let the minister's
wife copy them. I laid the envelope
out soon as we got back from meeting,
so I'd remember.
" 'Your Aunt I-etitia despises fancy
work, so she'll throw them in the fire
and then sit down and write me.'
"So she did," added Mrs. Wallev,
grimly, and it took a good deal of
work to get her straightened out
"On the whole, there wasn't any
lasting harm done, but I was only
thinking as I sat there this morning
I was sort of relieved to think Hiram's
cold kept him home from church to-
day, all things considered."—Youth's
Companion.
DON'T DESPAIR.
Read the Experience 'of a Minnesota
Woman and Take Heart.
If your back aches, and you feel
sick, languid, weak and miserable day
after day — don't
worry. Doan's Kid-
ney Pills have cured
thousands of women
in the same condition.
Mrs. A. Heiman of
Stillwater, Minn.,
says; "But for Doan's
Kidney Pills I would
not be living now.
They cured me in
1899 and I've been
well since. I used to have such pain
In my back that once I fainted. The
kidney secretions were mnch disor-
dered, and I was so far goue that I
was thought to be at death's door.
Since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me I
feel as if 1 had been pulled back from
the tomb."

The "Thunderer."
Judge Rentoul'a reference <m the
bench to the Times as the "Thunder-
er" reminds us how remarkably this
nickname has persisted. The Mora
lng Post is no longer "Jeames;" the
Standard has not been "Mrs. Gamp"
since the decease of the Morning Her-
ald—the "Mrs. Harris" to whom It
would .allude as an independent au-
thority, and the two represented the
same proprietor. But the Times is still
the "Thunderer." It owes that name
to Captain Edward Sterling, who is
said to have begun a Times article
with the words: "We thundered forth
the other day an article oa the subject
of social and political reform."—Lon-
don Chronicle.
Clover & Grass Seeds.
Everybody loves lots and lots of Clover
Grasses for hogs, cows, sheep and swine.
Society Takes to Caesar's Dainties.
Americans are devoting more and
more attention to epicurean conceits.
Not only New Yorkers, but wealthy
men of other cities, are interesting
themselves in the real possibilities ol
sauces and condiments, concerning
which their chefs, in many instances,
have kept them in ignorance for gen-
erations. Ancient recipes, the sim-
pler the better, are coming into vogue.
Senator Kean of New Jersey, who
is a3 well known in New York as al-
most any New Yorker in the way of a
high liver, is sounding the praises of
dried vegetables in use by the Ital-
ians since the days of tho Caesars.
Not even tho ripe, fresh tomato, the
Jerseyman is quoted as saying, makes
the delicious sauce which can be pro-
duced from the dried variety, and the
same is true of mushrooms, peas and
corn, which, he says, Americans spoil
by canning. Imported vegetables
from the southern couu tries of Eu-
rope are a fad, though thrifty house-
wives are making the experiment less
costly by employing Italian cooks and
getting the goods at first hand.

Fascinating'
Flakes
There's something1 truly fascinat-
ing about the light flakes with their
dainty flavor and crispness, which
persons who have tasted Elijah's
Manna find hard to resist.
A. minister said, "I don't know
, whether Elijah was fed on this kind
of food by tjie Ravens, but the sight
i *f these crisp, 'toasty' flakes makes
month water."
iey're so appetizing they excite
|saliva, a really valuable start at
beginning of a meal.

Freak Notions cf Inventors.
The inventor had called on his pat
ent attorney, and told him to "do
the best he could." He had left his
blue prints and plans, and it was up
to the kttorney to guard bi3 secret.
"I'll see,' said the lawyer, when his
client had gone, "what's in this."
He unfolded the plans. Across the
top was this big headline:
"Device for laying cables around
the world in 21 hours."
"One end of the cable is fastened to
a post," the explanation said. "The
rest of the coil is carried far up above
the clouds—up above the earth's at-
mosphere, by an Immense balloon. As
the world revolves the balloon stands
still and the cable will unwind from
the coil. In 24 hours tho circuit will
be made. The earth will be en-
twined."
"And you couldn't convlnco that
man in a month that he was a fool,"
the attorney said.
Boston's Squirrels.
If Central Park squirrels have
houses built for them this winter, as
it is said they will have, perhaps next
year Boston Common squirrels will
be similarly accommodated. The
houses could and should be pictur-
esque things, good for us to look at
and comfortable for the dwellers. And
the little animals ought to be very
happy in them, too. Though they
have become so civilized, or so like
us, in the years they have spent with
us that when building time comes
they will probably show a pretty de-
termination to have all their houses
front In Beacon street And what can
we do but consent? They are with
uir probably for all time, and since
they are an-assumed obligation our
duty to them lu of the highest.—Bos-

"I Was Given Up
writes Mrs. Eva Rashore, of Wapakoneta, O., "by ten (10) doctors,
and the only hope they offered was an operation, for an abscess of
four (4) months growth, measuring about six Inches long, on my
ovary. I weighed only 90 pounds and was so weak i could hardly
walk across the floor. The trouble began by my taking cold at my
period, which stopped the flow, I doctored for nearly a year without
obtaining relief, until, as I dreaded an operation, I began to take
CARDU!
I only used eight (8) bottles of Cardul. Now I am well, havo gained 35 pounds
and work every day. Wine of Cardui saved my life. I cannot say enough for it and
will recommend it whenever I can." Nothing could be more certain than the fact that
you need Cardul if you suffer from any of the disorders peculiar to the female
sex. It Is purely vegetable, Efrlclly medicinal, harmless, non-Intoxicating, and per-
fectly reliable. Cardul regulates Irregular functions, relieves unnecessary female pain,
restores strength and invigorates the system. Over a million women have been bene-
fited by Its use. Try 1L

Insects have their own public

by Prof. Bottomley in a lecture at the
University of London, South Kensing-

Insect world, according to Prof. Bot-
tomley, is the wild arum. It looks like
a large lily, and its big, dark shaft ex-
tending upward Is the sign that at-
tracts the lusects. They climb down
Into the nectar pit beneath the flower's
